The Sky One “Up Next” towards the end of the show seems to have got a lot bigger. It was previously pretty small but now takes up alot of the bottom part of the screen.

Having just seen this, you're not wrong. Obtrusive is an understatement! The worst thing is the previous design was small, subtle (but still drew your attention), and didn't cover up a fifth of the screen with a dark blue background.

For the record, over the weekend Sky One Germany was also rebranded from "Sky 1" to "Sky One", with I think the first use of lower case letters by Sky Germany in its logos. The rebranded service will now include some children's programmes on Saturday and Sunday morning.
